Beverly A. Schoonmaker, a beloved mother, grandmother, great grandmother, and fiance, a compassionate soul, and unwavering pillar of strength, passed away peacefully on April 9th 2025 at the age of 64. Born on March 24th 1961 in Williamsport, Beverly led a life illuminated by love, kindness, and selfless devotion to those she held dear.
From an early age, Beverly embodied warmth and resilience, carrying an innate ability to lift others with her wisdom and laughter. As a mother, grandmother, sister, she poured her heart into nurturing and guiding her family, always providing a steady presence in times of both joy and hardship. Her hands crafted love into every meal, her voice offered comfort in every word, and her heart created a home wherever she was.
Beyond her family, Beverly touched countless lives through friends and neighbors. Her love for crocheting various items for her grandchildren and children, or the quiet, everyday acts of kindness she bestowed, she left an indelible mark on the world around her.
She is survived by her fiance Jeffrey Howlett and her four children: Boyd Hartman, Amanda Summers, Geril Schoonmaker, April Marino; 13 grandchildren; 2 great-grandchildren; and 5 siblings. Each a testament to her love, each carrying forward the lessons she imparted.
She now joins her parents William and Ruth (George) Hartman and 5 siblings, a reunion as beautiful as the love they shared in life.
A memorial service to honor Beverly Schoonmaker will be held on Friday, April 18, 2025 with a visitation from 5-6 PM and service starting at 6 PM at Hughesville Funeral Home & Cremation Services Inc, 5069 Route 220 Hwy, Hughesville.
In memory, the family invites donations to Lycoming SPCA as a way to continue the kindness and compassion she embodied.
Though she is no longer physically present, Beverly’s legacy endures in the love she gave, the wisdom she shared, and the countless hearts she touched. May her memory be a guiding light and a source of comfort to all who were fortunate enough to know her.
